Fulham vs Wolves LIVE: Premier League result and final score
Fulham 1-1 Wolves: Pablo Sarabia’s first goal for the visitors was cancelled out by the in-form Manor Solomon
Substitute Manor Solomon’s stunning second-half strike earned Fulham a 1-1 draw at home to Wolves in a tight affair at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Friday.
Wolves were much the better side in the first half and deservedly went in front after 23 minutes through Pablo Sarabia’s fine finish, the Spain international’s first goal in English football.
The hosts rarely threatened without injured top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic but Solomon stepped up with a superb leveller in the 64th minute, curling the ball into the net from distance and scoring for the third successive league match.
Wolves threw striker Diego Costa on late in the game as they searched for a winner, but they had to settle for a draw that pulled them four points clear of the relegation zone, having played one more game than West Ham United in 18th.
Fulham stay sixth, having missed the chance to move level on points with Newcastle United in fifth.

Wolves look good value for the lead thanks to Sarabia's goal, which was an excellently-worked team goal. They've moved the ball around with much more attacking intent than Fulham who look a little out-of-sorts. They've tried to involve De Cordoba-Reid on the wing but he's lacked end product which has meant Vinicius has cut a pretty isolated figure up front.

There will be two minutes of injury time here at Craven Cottage.

Tete with a half chance for Fulham. The ball comes to the Dutch winger who confidently moves into the box but he drags at the shot and it goes wide.

Fulham are really struggling to get the ball into dangerous positions. The Wolves' defenders have been rock solid at the back and are just cleaning up every attack without much of a fight.

Neves arrives in the box after a cross from Matheus but his header goes over the bar. The Portuguese midfielder had his head in his hands after that so he definitely fancied his chances there.
